"I voted in favour of the European Union Strategy for the Protection and Welfare of Animals. The Commission and Member States must ensure that the Horizon 2020 research programme provides for adequate opportunities for research in the fields of biodiversity conservation, wildlife trade, the development and validation of non-animal alternatives, and the impact of emerging technologies. I call on Member States to make more effective use of the opportunities for assistance offered by EU rural development funds, as well as by the Seventh Framework Programme (2007-2013), in order to promote applied research and invest in innovative, modern animal welfare solutions. I also urge Member States and the Commission to increase financial investments in research and development of new animal welfare techniques and technologies. I regret that the strategy fails to reflect the importance of animal health to the well-being of animals and the link between animal health and public health. We call on the Commission to apply the ‘One Health’ principle to this strategy and to ensure efficient coordination with the Animal Health Strategy, as good animal husbandry, among other factors, helps prevent the spread of diseases and antibiotic resistance."@en1
